Turkish Restaurants near Tysons, VA

“Our first visit to Istanbul Kitchen was unforgettable, thanks to Farideh who went above and beyond from the moment we walked in. Her kindness and hospitality made us feel truly welcomed.

The food was delicious, full of authentic flavor, and the Turkish coffee and kadayif were absolutely perfect. Such a wonderful experience all around — we will definitely be back!“

“East West Café at Tysons Corner truly lives up to its name. Its menu reflects Turkey’s unique position between East and West by offering a thoughtful mix of authentic Turkish dishes alongside Western-style sandwiches, salads, and burgers.

The atmosphere instantly evokes the feeling of an Istanbul café. The murals and warm décor create a space where dining feels relaxed, allowing you to enjoy good food and even better company. The staff is exceptionally attentive, often anticipating your needs before you even ask, which adds greatly to the overall experience.

The restaurant also provides a comfortable, designated area for hookah lovers. While I personally don’t enjoy the smell of hookah, it’s clear that they’ve made an effort to create a welcoming and safe space for those who do.

The food was genuinely impressive. The branzino was cooked to perfection—moist, flavorful, and paired with delicious vegetables. The Adana kebab was juicy and tender, served with bulgur pilaf (cracked wheat) and finely sliced raw onions with sumac. A particularly nostalgic touch was the complimentary nuts, apples, and oranges served alongside my friends’ wine—something I fondly remember from my days back in Turkiye.

Another major plus: East West Café is open until 2:00 AM, which is a rare and wonderful option in the Tysons area when most places are already closed. Their Turkish breakfast spread is generous and varied, and they also offer a wide range of lunch options.

Most importantly, we never felt rushed. My friends and I were able to truly enjoy our time, our conversations, and our meal at a relaxed pace.

Overall, it was a great dining experience“

“Cafe Zevian is a great spot for a relaxed meal. The food is fresh and flavorful, the portions are generous, and the coffee and drinks are solid too. The staff are friendly and the atmosphere is cozy and welcoming. Definitely a place I’d come back to for breakfast, lunch, or just to hang out.“

“es el mejor restaurante en el área de Mclean, con la auténtica cocina de Turkia, deliciosa en todo su sentido.“

“I stopped by Taste of Istanbul this afternoon for the first time. For the most part it was really good. I ordered a potato pide, 2 doner kebab, mixed meze, and pistachio baklava. Everything was delicious except for the”baklava”, which turned out to be two greasy dough cylinders. No phyllo, no honey, no pistachio filling. I was disappointed that I wasted $7.00 for inedible dough I ended up throwing in the garbage. Get the kebabs, stay away from their version of baklava.“

“Interesting “northern”Chinese food. Different from the regular Chinese food“

“Food is good by local standards but I wish they would not call it Kabob. it is KEBAP. Or do not call yourself a Turkish restaurant.“

“Just an incredible restaurant - amazing food out of this world our server was simply impressive with one month on the job - I can't say enough good things about him. I will always be back !!!“

“In recent years there seems to be a proliferation of small-plate Mediterranean restaurants. But Yayla remains as one of the best, reasonably priced originals in northern Virginia. There is a pleasing range of mezzes, salads, entrees hot and cold, flat breads, spreads, etc . I had a Yayla mule, 3 spreads, lemony rice soup and superb shrimp. Friends chose a range of other dishes. I can guarantee whatever you choose, you won’t be disappointed. Everything is flavorful, fresh and beautifully presented. Wait staff and servers are friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and not obtrusive. Don’t miss the nice selection of creative cocktails, wine variety and desserts. Continued success and best wishes for this popular bistro!“

“Amazing breakfast for two!“
